Position Overview:
The Command and Control, Battle Management, and Communications (C2BMC) program is a vital part of the Missile Defense System.

C2BMC offers a layered missile defense capability, providing an optimized response to threats across all ranges and flight phases. It functions as a force multiplier by connecting, integrating, and synchronizing autonomous sensor and weapon systems and operations both worldwide and locally to improve overall performance. Additionally, C2BMC is an essential component of all ground and flight tests that verify and demonstrate the missile defense system's current and future capabilities.
In this role, you will be involved in the process from the start of development through testing, deployment, and operations. The Verification Test Execution Lead will carry out test tasks according to program procedures, assist the Verification Test Lead with resource planning, support the Engineering Review Boards as needed, and assist with Task Order and customer reviews, metrics collection, and analysis. This position requires daily technical and programmatic interactions with civilian, military, contract leadership, and technical personnel at MDIOC and Highway 83 Offices.
